I have a stiff neck and jaw pain behind my left ear with intermittent sharp pain in the lower left jaw. Cardiac issues are ruled out, and posture seems to be causing the neck problem, but the doctor thinks my wisdom tooth might be responsible for the jaw and ear pain. They recommended surgery can you review the report and advise if that's the right approach?

It's understandable to be concerned about the possibility of surgery for wisdom teeth when you're experiencing a complex set of symptoms. Given your symptoms, the possibility of wisdom teeth being the cause of jaw and ear pain, and a history of stiff neck, consulting a second opinion is recommended, and a thorough evaluation is crucial to determine the right approach.

View allIt's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?
It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.
